Now that I've updated to El Capitan, my Brother DCP won't work and I can't find a driver update. Anyone find something?

    here are the current models of Brother products that are supported.

    http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/os/macintosh.html

     

    if you model is supported the drivers will be on this page. If not contact the manufacturer and see if they have a driver for your specific model printer for this OS. Otherwise you may need to downgrade to a previous OS from a Time Machine Backup or a downgrade for compatibility if it is not offered by Brother for your model device on a computer running OS 10.11.

    Apparently not all Bother DCP printers are compatible, but most that were compatible with OS 10.10.x still are according to their page.

    I had looked at their list of supported items and mine wasn't on there.  It worked really well prior to the upgrade to E C.  I will try reinstalling the drivers for the latest version and see if it helps but looking at the chart from Brother, the 7020 is unsupported.  Should I attempt to use another driver or just wait for someone to program a new compatible driver?
